LG beat Kia Tigers 5-1 on Sunday. New ace Yoni Chirinos overwhelmed Kia's batters during seven innings. The batters displayed solidarity and managed to score five runs on the mound. The team garnered 10 wins in 11 games during the opening of the season. Of course, the team has 10 wins on a first-come, first-served basis.

It is a better start than 2023 when LG won the title all together. The team had a good start in 2023. It had seven wins and four losses in its first 11 games. However, the team achieved 10 wins in just 16 games. Although LG admitted that it is capable of challenging to win the title at the top of the list this year, few predicted that LG would get off to a good start.
He ranks second with a team batting average of 0.290, and first with a team ERA of 2.39. Ahead of the match against KIA at Jamsil on Tuesday, Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "The starters held out really well. They didn't explode completely. He said, "I hit it when I had to hit it, and the fact that I hit a little long balls played a big role in running."
In fact, LG's starting pitchers started with Ronnie Chirinos (2G ERA 2.37) and Son Joo-young (2G ERA 2.77) and Elijah Hernandez (2G ERA 9.39) and Lim Chan-kyu (2G 0.61) and Song Seung-gi (2G 1.50). The four players except Hernandez are overwhelming. LG dominated the top ranks over the past few years, but its bullpen was strong. It failed to create a native starting pitcher that overwhelms batters.
However, LG expects Son Joo-young to play the role in the long run. On top of that, the start of Lim Chan-kyu and Song Seung-ki is better than expected. LG's native starters, whose overwhelming taste was lacking, turned out to be the opposite this year. Of course, there are few samples, but it is time for Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young to explode properly.
On top of that, Chirinos is definitely better than last year's Detrick N.S., which lacked 2 percent. Chirinos emerged as the best foreign pitcher in the early to mid 150-km range thanks to the combination of pitching, folk ball, and sweeper. Chirinos, along with Cody Ponce (Hanwha Eagles) and Adam Oler (KIA), were considered the best players in the team's new pace. However, they gave Aller a decision-making victory.
LG has properly strengthened its bullpen this year with Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Kang-ryul, Shim Chang-min and Choi Chae-heung. They have not shown good performance yet either. Closing pitcher Jang Hyun-sik has just returned. Yoo Young-chan and Ham Deok-ju, who are undergoing rehabilitation after surgery, can return at the end of the first half or in the second half, while Lee Jung-yong will also be discharged from the military in June. When starting pitchers run out of energy, the bullpen can exercise its energy by sharing it.
The batting lineup is naturally good. It looks similar to the past one or two years, but it has become more cohesive. By allowing the least number of runs on the mound, fielders can reduce defense time and focus more on offense. The virtuous cycle of 2023 is back.
It is too early to say whether the team will dominate the first round. The early boom of second-ranked SSG Landers is not particularly impressive, and Samsung Lions, another promising contender, is also close to winning the championship from the third place. Notably, Samsung is a competitor that LG should be wary of the most. However, a fall of Kia, the strongest candidate, is a boon to LG. However, Kia is also a team that is equipped with the strength to attack anytime.
Even so, LG's solo performance in the early days of this season is certainly impressive. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop explained that the team has thoroughly prepared since last fall.
